Energy and Elemental Burst are one of the most important features in Genshin Impact combat mechanics. For a character to cast their Elemental Burst, they first need to fill up their Energy. In normal combat, a character may need somewhere between 40 and 90 Energy to cast their Elemental Burst.
In Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG, Energy and Elemental Burst are also major parts of the gameplay. There are multiple ways players can gain Energy in the TCG and allow a character to cast their Elemental Burst.
How To Use Elemental Burst In Genshin Impact TCG
To use Elemental Burst in Genshin Impact TCG, players must have sufficient Energy and Dice. Some cards need two Energy to use their Burst, while some others require three. This can be seen from the number of circles on the right side of the card.
Here’s how people can get Energy in the Genius Invokation TCG:
- Use Basic Attack
- Use Elemental Skill
- Use supportive cards
Supportive cards that allow players to get Energy in Genshin Impact TCG are:
Card Name | Effect | Card Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
Exile's Circlet | After the wearer uses Elemental Burst: All other characters gain 1 Energy (once per round) |
| 2 random Dice |
Iron Tongue Tian | One of your character without maximum Energy gains 1 Energy (active character prioritized). Usage: 2 |
| 2 random Dice |
Liu Su | After you switch characters: If they don't have Energy, they will gain 1 Energy (once per round). Usage: 2 |
| 1 Dice |
Starsigns | Active character gains 1 Energy |
| 2 random Dice |
Calx's Arts | Shift 1 Energy from at most 2 of your characters on standby to the active character |
| 1 Dice |

Just like in normal combat, Elemental Bursts in Genshin Impact TCG are powerful and can change the tide of the battle. There are various effects that players can utilize, like a single-target offense, AoE attack, or even healing and buffing. Some characters also get stronger after they cast their ultimate. For example, Genshin Impact Diluc gains Pyro Infusion after casting his Burst. Similarly, Noelle gets Geo Infusion. Because of this, proper management of Energy and Dice can be crucial in the Genius Invokation TCG duel.
It’s highly recommended to have at least one character card that only needs two Energy to cast their Burst. Having three Genshin Impact characters that require three Energy can be quite troubling as it’d be difficult to cast their ultimate.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
